Bergsetbreen

Date:
11.07.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
2:48h
Distance:
8.0km

We drove to Bergset in Jostedalen and found free parking at Bergset p-plass . From the parking lot we could clearly see Bergsetbreen in the distance as started west along the marked trail. The trail was very nice and well maintained, and with less than 100 meters ascent spread across less than 4 km we made good progress towards the glacier. While Bergsetbreen, like most other glaciers in the area, has diminished significantly over the last decades, and clearly did not descend as far down into the valley as indicated in most promotional material, it was still very much worth the visit. Especially as it was so easy to get to and can be accessed even by relatively small children. After a short lunch break, we returned along the same route. Note that if you want a slightly longer hike you can also include a visit of Tuftebreen , to >>>

Short afternoon walk along Barsnesfjorden. (Note that the road this hike follows is private, i.e. no cars allowed. There are however a couple of parking spaces down by the small wharf along Barsnesfjorden just before the road turns west and starts climbing slightly towards the crossroads at Barsnes.)

Prestakvilet from Ådland kyrkje

Date:
25.05.2022
Characteristic:
Hike
Duration:
1:23h
Distance:
4.8km

After a meeting at Solstrand , me and yehiamokhtarfarag (Yehia Mokhtar Farag) made a detour on the way back to Bergen for a quick visit of Prestakvilet . We parked outside Ådland kyrkje and from there followed the indicated route. The trail got a bit wet towards the end, in particularly the final few meters to the cabin, but was otherwise straightforward to follow. Limited views for the last half of the hike, although still enjoyable. Prestakvilet was at an excellent location right next to Kvernesvatnet and overall made for a nice trip objective, especially on a day when the weather put a stop to more ambitious plans.
